Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd conducted a targeted excavation and monitored topsoil strip at the site of a proposed housing development at School Road, Conon Bridge, Highland in order to satisfy a planning condition set by Highland Council (Plan. Ref. 08/00994/FULRC). The work was commissioned by Cameron and Patterson Homes and followed previous phases of desk based assessment and trial trenching. The excavation produced possible evidence for prehistoric settlement of the area with the most important remains being that of a wood lined trough, filled with burnt mound material, and lying adjacent to the remnants of a substantial palaeochannel running across the site. Away from this feature the heavily truncated remains of a post built roundhouse were identified. Further features consisted of isolated undated pits spread across the site. |
